GetYourGuide Reviews Summary

GetYourGuide's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from poor customer service and unreliable booking practices. Many customers report issues with cancellations, lack of refunds, and ineffective communication, leading to feelings of frustration and undervaluation. While some users appreciate the ease of booking and competitive pricing, these positives are overshadowed by widespread complaints regarding accountability and responsiveness. Overall, the feedback indicates a pressing need for GetYourGuide to enhance its support systems and address operational shortcomings to improve customer trust and satisfaction.

A no show
September 13, 2020

Booked a tour to Auschwitz and the guide was a no show. They didn't contact us and when we tried to ring there was no reply. What a waste of money and time. Avoid them at all costs. I only gave 1 star because I couldn't give less.

I've used GetYourGuide for a few years now and it's so easy to book months before (or even the night before). I always start with a guided walking tour to get the history of where I am and then book many other trips.

Excellent tour
September 10, 2020

We really enjoyed our tour of Venice with guide Giovanni.
He was very knowledgable, cheerful and took us on a great backstreet tour with some hidden gems, as well as pointing out some main must sees. We learnt loads on this tour.
I couldn't fault it. Thank you

Always a great adventure!
September 10, 2020

I've used GetyourGuied multiple times in multiple places and they always make a good trip a great one. I've been thoroughly impressed with every guide and felt every tour has been well worth the price. I highly recommend them in any city or country they offer service. Thank you for such a great time every time!

Semplice e rapido
September 5, 2020

Ho utilizzato questo servizio per evitare la fila al ticket Office del duomo di Siena. Peccato che quel giorno la fila fosse molto breve ed avere speso 3 euro per ogni biglietto in più del prezzo normale non è stato costo-efficacia.

Booked tour of Colesseum in Rome. Realised once booked that we had opted for the tour in Italian. It was our mistake. Contacted the company using the Whatsapp number and although it was late afternoon, early evening I got a response straightaway. The issue was resolved very quickly and we were booked with the correct guide. I was really impressed as to how easy it was to make the change. There was no charge.

Annoying Marketing Emails
September 5, 2020

I've been getting reminders to rate both the tour and the agency persistently - what's interesting there is no way to turn off those unsolicited emails via a simple unsubscribe link at the bottom of the communication (is this even legal?). Instead they remind you in bold that you agreed to their Terms and Conditions which probably means you agreed to them spamming your inbox. Tour itself was no issue and worked as expected, but avoid their services if you don't want to be molested afterwards.

Venice easy!
September 4, 2020

We booked 2 tours and 1 48 hour waterbus ticket through GetYourGuide. It was easy, affordable and fun! Only one of the tours was not worth it, but you need to check the reviews before booking. I have booked tours for Sicily earlier in the year however, due to Covid, the trip was cancelled. I was refunded in full for all trips booked easily. I will definitely use this site again :)

I originally signed up for the Hyderabad: Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch, the afternoon before, but it had to be changed to the Hyderabad: Heritage Walking Tour of Old City and Charminar, due to the Covid 19 closures. 5 Senses Tours was very efficient in the turnaround to find me another tour on Monday 24 August 2020. My guide was John, he's a very knowledgeable and experienced guide who knows the history of Hyderabad and India very well and had an answer for every single question I had. It was an enjoyable morning walking tour, easy getting around, and learned so much from him. Ask John to stop for an amazing "chai" before starting the walking tour. Also, my driver was Taiyab and he did an outstanding job as well. I'd highly recommend this tour. Thank you 5 Senses tour and John!
